The moment the storm clouds appeared, Lu Bei noticed the advent of Heaven and Earth's Will.
No one else was drawn to it; it was here for him alone.
He had miscalculated. Seeing Lady Shiyin as soft and demure, appearing as if she could be easily toppled, he had made her his primary target.
He didn't expect her magical artifact to have such a ferocious defense; it could not be broken without expending all his power.
The Array Map seal divided the space, reinforced and guarded by twelve God Generals. It allowed entrance but no exit, leaving almost no chance to break it from within. He was left with only two options.
To temporarily avoid the Heavenly Calamity using the Nine Years of Xingqi Skill, leaving the mess to Gu Zongchen to clean up.
Or activate the Ten-eyed Great Demon immediately, overpower everyone, and sweep away Liuren Mountain.
Either choice meant losing 5 billion experience, even more painful than Lu Bei losing ten taels of silver. So he chose a third option.
